Wolverhampton Wanderers have a deal to sign Colombian winger Jhon Arias from Fluminense for €21m. Arias is scheduled for a medical soon. Fluminense will keep a 10% sell-on clause as part of the deal.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Wolves are ready to sign Jhon Arias after agreeing to a €21 million deal with Fluminense. The 27-year-old winger has done well in domestic and international games. Arias looks set to be the club’s next big signing to improve their attack for the new season. He was key in Fluminense’s run to the Club World Cup semi-finals, where he led in chances created and increased his global football status, as confirmed by a previous report.

ARIAS’ BACKGROUND AND RECENT FORM

Arias moves to Wolves after a great time at Fluminense. He scored 47 goals and had 55 assists in 229 games. He played a big role in winning the Copa Libertadores in 2023. He has been one of the most regular wide players in Brazil. Internationally, Arias has 31 caps for Colombia, scoring three goals. He is seen as a player at the top of his game, and notably, he scored 7 goals and contributed 9 assists in 32 games for Fluminense in 2025.

WHAT COMES NEXT FOR WOLVES?

Wolves want to strengthen their team after finishing just below the top half last Premier League season, having ended up in 16th place, as mentioned in multiple reports. They have gaps left after Matheus Cunha left. Manager Vítor Pereira sees Arias as a flexible choice who can play different attacking roles and add creativity to the team. Wolves hope Arias adapts quickly before they face Manchester City in their Premier League opener. Both teams will have different goals but want to have a winning start to the campaign, highlighting the importance of early wins to get ahead this campaign.
